This deal has been completed. Good for the Twins they get a very good young replacement for Hunter. And the Rays are starting to have a nice rotation. 1. Scott Kazmir 2. James Shields 3. Matt Garza? Once David Price is ready they have the potential to have one solid rotation. |

http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/news/articl...t=.jsp&c_id=min :o Twins Get: OF Delmon Young SS Brendan Harris OF Jason Pridie Devil Rays Get: SP Matt Garza SS Jason Bartlett Minor League P Eduardo Morlan It's good for me that Bartlett is out of the division, but Delmon Young killed us when we saw him too. This trade makes me nervous... :( |

Good deal for both, rare that you see two teams essentially swap to highly regarded young players. |

Though this deal may seem to have been won by the Twins, if you analyze the situations in which both teams are in, it is a pretty fair trade. The Twins are looking to replace Tori Hunter, and bringing in Young, who is a stud(though he had a shitty 08), does this(I'm not sure he'll play CF, but he prob. will). And the Rays already have a great lineup, and h OFers in abundance(If Baldelli can stay healthy...). EDIT: Also, the Rays had a terrible infield defense last year, which is where Bartlett will help out. This gives them a nice starting rotation looking forward, as they will have Kazmir, Price, Shields, Garza, along with their pitching prospects they have coming up. Who knows if and how long they'll keep Kazmir though. This also allows the Rays to settle Upton down at one position, and (I read at BP) they will be able to move Iwamura to 2nd, and have Evan Longoria as their Opening Day 3B next year. Who ends up winning this trade has a lot to do with how good Delmon Young ends up being. |

Thats pretty much what I say to. But for now I think it was a pretty equal trade and like Redfox pointed out the D-Rays have one heck of a rotation going on. |

I think in 20 years, it will be clear that Brendan Harris was by far the best player involved in this trade. |
